and look after the large interest
they heve there.
The negroes have never been
used to anything different to what
they get, passing from slavery into
freedom, scarcely being aware OF
the change. They have known
their masters all their lives and q
feeling of dependence has been in
culcated in them that makes them
10th to leave the old plantation
and start life on their own respon-
sibility. They get all they want to
eat and drink and enough clothes
for the exigencies of the climate
which is very mild, and it is not to
be wondered at that they still con
slider themselves the property OF
their masters.
1t was a merchant of one of the
crossroads stores Of Gilmer county
that a few days ago sent Mr.. A
Med. Wilson, of this city, to whom,
he owed small amount, a note
offering to give among other forms
of security a mortage, on zone ne
gro man." This mortgage, it ap.
pears, was rendered to the cross
roads merchant by one of the far
mers Of that county to secure debt
due the grocer, and the grocer in
dorsed the note and sent it to Mr.
Wilson, together with the mort
gage, in payment of the amount
due Mr.. Wilson. The mortgage
was laid in perfect security.
The negro was acknowledgement
ed. In the description his name
was given as Joe Addison and his
age is put at 65 years. The dcscrip
ton closes with these words: ale
came to me by nay father and ha:
been my property for twenty years. .
The mortgage bears the date o.
July 10, 1855. The maker of the
mortgage evidently fingers under
the impression that the negro is still
his slave, and that he has the righ,
to buy loan on his head as he
did before the sixties, and what i:
still more singular, the merchant tC
whom the mortgage was given die
not see anything wrong in the secu
rity offered. Mr.. Wilson returned
the note together with the mortgag,
yesterday, telling the party that h,
preferred some more tangible Sc
curitv.

was vastly entertained during trip
through Arizonia and New Mex
leo, by my own observation of the
mountain rats, popularity known as
as trading rats" / used to lie
awake sometimes, in order to
watch their pranks by the light of
my campfire. Their antics and
gambols reminded me of young
kittens at play. They often APP
peared to be at a game of ''tag."
They look like common rats,
save that they are lighter in color,
their tails shorter and thicker, and
noises less pointed. They live in
hollow trees and in the rocks.
But the very funny thing is
that, through they are born thieves,
kleptomaniacs every one, they al
ways return something in the place
Of every article taken away; and
a queer thing, too, is the fact that
they rarely steal articles of food.
One night l felt slight stir
about my head. Cautiously open
ing my eyes, / saw one of these
rats tugging manfully at my saddle,
which l was using as pillow. AS
the saddle was one of the California
style, and weighed about thirty
pounds, the efforts of the little ras-
cal seemed to be very ambitious
for an animal of his size. They
take away cartridges, knives and
forks, or anything else they can
carry. have been told by an old
prospector that he had whole out
fit of such things "rustled" (that is
stolen), in one night, and that var
ious objects were returned in ii
place.
Articles taken from one place
have been found in a shanty twenty
miles distance. / met one day at a
ailway station an old ranchman
who lived at least twenty miles
from the road, and CHANGING to
speak of these rats, he said: 81
found in my shack the other day
quitea collection of spoons, forks
and knives, hid under a pile of
rubbish, that had been brought
there by the little thieves. Where
they came from don't know, but
| do know that they carried off in
turn a whole box of 1915 Winches'
ter cartridges" / laughed, and re-
piled: "Well, l have your cartrid-
ges, and you probaly have my
spoons, for out of a dozen | have
only two left. And, as the cartrid,
ges will not fit my Sharps 1910
they are no use to me. So If you'll
bring the spoons to Films store
I'll see that the cartridges are all
left there, and you can get them"
The exchange was effected in the
course of q few days, and the
spoons proved to be mine and the
cartridges his.

SLAVES IN GEORGIA.

Mr.. Med. Wilson, a wholesale
merchant Of Atlanta, does business
in the remotest parts of Georgia
and with a great many old time
people. He has great many Gus
toners in Gilmer county, small
but wealthy county in northern
Georgia, almost on the North Caro-
lima line. This county is not we'll de-
veloped, there being few towns and
the farmers are, in every instance,
large planters, raising everything
they need at home, very much as
they did before the war. They
have their superintendent as in
olden times, and in e great many
instances work the same slaves that
they did before the war-servants
that have ministered to the wants
of the family for many years back.
The planters in this section do not
go about much, but stay at home

GENERAL LoaANs GREAT WORK.

A beautifully bound and artistically
volume bearing the title "The Volun-
teer Soldier of America" comes to us
from the publishing house of R. s.
Peale & Co of Chicago. The public
has been anxiously awaiting this work
from the brain and band of the brave
soldier who is sleeping in mortality,
but awake in acknowledgement
John A. Logan. Its authorship alone
would invest it with an undying inter-
est, but, aside from this, his fitness for
treating the subject gives the volume
a practical value hardly to be estimat-
ed. He was an experienced military
man who had carefully and intelligent
ly studied the military system of the
country; and when, in convincing Ian
guage, and by indisputable facts, he
demonstrates the need of reform, Cen
eral Logan speaks emphatically, but
without prejudice or bitterness, and no
one can read this, his greatest work
without feeling that it has been writ
ten from first to last as duty owed to
nation which had crowned him as
one of her greatest soldiers and states
men.
1.-THE Volunteer Soldier" is not war
book in the common meaning of the
term neither is it life of Logan-al-
though the biographical memoir of the
author, which precedes the body of the
book. is, without doubt, the best short
biography of the illustrious volunteer
leader that has ever been written, con-
tanning many facts and incidents in his
career never before published; and the
Generate Military "reminiscences, it
must be admitted by all, form most
valuable contribution 20 the history of
the great civil strife.
1t is the only connected history Of
the volunteer service of America that
has ever been written; the first and
only great attempt to perpetuate the
glorious achievements ofthe American
citizen soldiery, and to give to the vol.
unteer soldier and sailor that honor and
place in history which are 80 justly
their due. Logan was never more elo-
quent then when reciting the deeds or
advocating the rights Of his comrades
in arms. In this work he demands
justice for the defenders Of the Amer
lean republic, and shows that the safe
ty and permanence of our free institu-
tons deoend on the strong arms and
loyal hearts of her citizen soldiers. The
hansomely printed pages Of the book
abound with thrilling descriptions of
the heroism of individuals, companies,
regiments, divisions. and corps. Much
of it reads like romance.
The work is copyrighted by Mrs.
Logan, who receives two-thirds Of the
